About the Author:

Robert Gregory earned his Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the University of

Minnesota where he absorbed a healthy respect for the value of empiricism in

psychological testing. He taught at the University of Idaho for 23 years where he

also developed a private practice in assessment. In his practice, he specialized in the

evaluation of intellectual disability and cognitive impairment. His academic research

centered on assessment topics such as subtle cognitive differences in left-handers,

the impact of subclinical lead exposure on intelligence, the psychometric qualities

of a wide variety of cognitive and personality tests, and meta-analysis. In one phase

of his assessment career, he estimates evaluating more than 100 applicants for law

enforcement positions. He has taught psychological assessment for 40 years. On 50

separate occasions, he has offered a course featuring one or another of the Wechsler

scales (“Now do this one as quickly as you can, and be sure to tell me when you are

finished”). He was professor of psychology at Wheaton College (Illinois) for

seventeen years, including eight years as department chair, and five years as director

of their doctoral program (Psy.D.) in clinical psychology. In his spare time he is an

ambivalent jogger (motto: “Start slow and taper off”). He also does watercolors

(motto: “Ability is over-rated”) which he stores in a secret compartment in his

basement. He practices mindfulness-based meditation on a regular basis (seriously).

He resides in the Seattle area and maintains an active interest in testing and clinical

psychology. He is Professor Emeritus at Wheaton College (IL).
